Looks like this is just...going to be a thing I'll be posting about for a while.

After more research, I realized a potential second option for an apartment pet would be a rescue greyhound. This decision is mostly fueled by the fact that I have known for years that they make good apartment pets, but also because after reading more about GI stasis in rabbits I have become very concerned. Because I will be a full time student and working part time, I may not be home long enough to notice the signs of GI stasis. From what I have found, 6 hours of no eating or defecating is worth concern, and 12 hours means they need to go to a vet. I would be doing my best never to be gone longer than 8-9 hours (which is the limit for a greyhound as well), but I'm still afraid of missing the signs when I really need to be noticing them. 

At this point I'm having a very hard time being able to tell which between these animals make better apartment pets. While I feel that a dog would be easier to care for for me personally, having lots of dog experience since day one of my life pitted again pretty much no rabbit experience outside of the research I've been doing for a few days (and knowing two pet rabbits, both in terrible conditions having to live in a hutch their whole lives-which is not exactly useful experience in how to do things right), I'm still not sure. I do know that greyhounds are known to be good apartment pets, while rabbits can be alright in an apartment but have never really shown themselves in my research to be /recommended/ apartment pets. At this point I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do besides continuing to research as much as possible, but I very much value your opinions! 

For those who have owned a greyhound in an apartment setting, any concerns or advice to weigh in? Or perhaps someone who has potentially had both greyhounds and rabbits at different times?

(Also, because I've been getting a few suggestions about a cat I'll add this here. Unfortunately because my mom is allergic to them as well as the fact that my dogs have the potential to be cat aggressive  (mostly they're scared of them) it wouldn't be a good fit because I will be coming home between semesters. The rabbit would have a space in the studio house to keep away from the dogs, but I'm not sure about leaving a cat out there as the potential for them to get in trouble or escape is there (The rabbits can be kept in a pen where a cat can't).
